Cytora and Smarty collaborate for better underwriting

We're happy to announce a recent partnership with Cytora, an insurance technology firm. Below, you will find the announcement they published:

London, UK; January 21: Cytora, the leading digital risk processing platform, today announced a partnership with Smarty, a cutting-edge provider of property data solutions, to transform property risk evaluation for insurers.

Juan de Castro, COO at Cytora, said: “This partnership represents a significant step forward in enriching our data ecosystem. By integrating Smarty’s unparalleled property data, we’re enabling insurers to make faster, more informed decisions with access to high-quality insights directly within our platform. It’s an exciting development that underscores our dedication to innovation and delivering industry-leading capabilities for risk evaluation and underwriting excellence."

The collaboration embeds Smarty’s robust US Property Data, with over 350 attributes, including geospatial accuracy, building footprint details, and address verification, into Cytora’s platform. Underwriters using Cytora can access precise property insights and streamline their risk evaluation processes. These capabilities will enable underwriters to assess risks more quickly and effectively, identify potential exposures, and mitigate them proactively. 

Berkley Charlton, VP of Product Management at Smarty, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Cytora to redefine property data utilization for insurers. Combining our best-in-class property data with Cytora’s innovative platform certifies insurers have the tools to make smarter, faster decisions and adapt to the evolving risk landscape. Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for property risk analysis.”

Smarty’s hyper-accurate property data offers details such as exact location coordinates (geocoding), property dimensions, construction data, and financial insights. Insurers can leverage US Rooftop Geocoding to pinpoint the coordinates of structures and deftly assess hazards, ensuring precise underwriting decisions when integrated with SmartyKey®, a persistent unique identifier. This assists underwriters in accurately relating third-party risk data to a specific property regardless of address changes.

This partnership reflects Cytora’s commitment to building the most comprehensive data ecosystem for insurers, enhancing the industry’s ability to leverage real-time, accurate information in risk processing. It follows a period of significant growth for Cytora, including adding a major collaboration with Chubb and the expansion of a partnership with Arch to North America.

Phony passports. Runaway trains. Rogue elephants. Hot air balloons. Phileas Fogg dodged them all in the 1956 movie adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days. His race was against time. Today, your ecommerce business is running a race of its own; delivering quickly, accurately, and affordably across a world full of logistical landmines. Fortunately, you don’t need a valet named Passepartout to guide you (although wouldn’t that be fun?!) You just need Smarty. Smarty is your passport to global address data perfection, specializing in address verification, autocomplete, geocoding, and enrichment.
Address component analysis: A smarter way to validate addresses

Most address validation tools give you a simple thumbs up or down on an address because it either matches or it doesn’t, right? But what if you need more than just “valid” or “invalid” as a response? What if you could know exactly what part of the address is off, like a misspelled street name or an unconfirmed vanity city (like Hollywood), and why it isn’t considered valid?What if part of an address needed to change in order to make it a mailable, valid address? We think you’d want to know that, too.
BREAKING: Rooftop geocodes walk off the job—chaos mounting by the hour

Dateline: Tuesday, 8:04 a. m. In what experts are calling “the biggest location intelligence crisis since the discovery of space,” rooftop-accurate geocodes have officially gone on strike. The high-precision coordinates—normally pinpointing locations down to the exact rooftop for deliveries, telecom installs, insurance claims, and analytics—appeared on Smarty TV and issued a short but cutting statement this morning:“We’re tired of being taken for granted. We’re tired of being treated like just another number.
